Intelligent Method Of Dynamic Control For A Class Of Stochastic Nonlinear Systems, Isamidin Khakimovich Siddikov, Davronbek Abdalimovich Khalmatov, Gulchekhra Rakhimjanovna Alimova, Dilnoza Rakhmanovna Khushnazarova

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

The paper considered the problems of researching the stabilisation system and backstepping control of stochastic nonlinear systems. The characteristics of stochastic nonlinear dynamic control systems are random signals with normal lawful distribution, which significantly complicates task control. In stochastic control, it is necessary to determine the trajectories of the control variables in order to achieve the desired control objective at minimum cost. Since the mathematical equations of stochastic nonlinear systems are not always constant, not every model-based controller can be accurate. Therefore, in this work, a neuro-fuzzy network is used to evaluate the parameters of the control system with backstepping, …
